DO IT
• Explain the purpose of the activity, which is to
reinforce knowledge of traffic signs in an
interactive game format.
• Divide the class into groups of three and assign
roles: Student A, Student B, and Student C (the
host).
• Provide each group with a game board
consisting of a 3x3 grid.
• Instruct Student C to secretly fill in the grid
with three bombs, three hearts, and three
hand symbols, without revealing the
placements to Student A and Student B.
• Student C, as the host, points to a traffic sign
displayed in the classroom or on a poster.
• Student A or B, designated as the main player
for that round, describes the traffic sign to the
rest of the group.
• If Student A/B correctly identifies the traffic
sign, ask them to choose a square on the game
board.
• Depending on the symbol in the chosen square
(heart, bomb, or hand), the player earns or
loses a life, or steals a life from their
teammate.
• Rotate roles so that each student has a chance
to be the main player and the host.
• Continue playing until all nine squares on the
game board have been revealed.
• Encourage students to take turns being the
game host to ensure everyone participates.
